The scientific paper 'The role of Earth observation in ecosystem accounting: A review of advances, challenges and future directions' highlights:
- Earth Observation (EO) provides accurate and timely spatial data to compile ecosystem accounts
- Spatial data is required to connect ecosystem extent, condition, and services
- Harmonise input data with nomenclature is needed to facilitate better use of EO for accounting
- Open-access processing pipelines with EO data are missing
- Both technical and conceptual issues need to be resolved to operationalise EO in accounting
